Being inspired by a mate that I haven’t met for a while on the crowded Madison Avenue, New York, we finally decided to have a talk at Starbuck. And the story begins from here…
Her name is Christine- a lovely charming French lady living in Paris. Reminding me of taking any good walk in Champ Elysees Avenue 2 years ago, Christine was still a “little” lady who thought all bad and good things happening in this world did not really matter to her and her family. Time goes by, at this moment, the way she looks and behaves makes me feel a little unfamiliar, which might lead to something called Maturity. Highlighting pretty much about her appearance as I could express is completely based on the way she started narrating her love story. Indeed, this topic eternally exists in some imposing way and becomes confusing to any sort of couple or even to somebody who never experienced loving and being loved before..
I guess it is completely no doubt to say that hardly anybody among us could dream of a future husband/boyfriend who is definitely fixed to our requirements. Some fall in love with a tall man with clear six-packed muscle, some confidentially dream of getting married with a romantic charming man meanwhile some just hope their true love should be the one that can take care for their small family… No doubt, some of us then become a daydreamer, forgetting who is actually around us. How can I say: Indistinction or Vaguity? Nobody can predict what will be happening in the future, and some of daydreaming lady, in somehow, love at the very first sight. And “Je t’aime” will be uttered in an uncareful mind.
Christine met Freddo in her workplace that she has a culinary art internship in an American restaurant in Uptown New York. Let’s make it clear, there are some adjectives that most of the girls usually say to express their love such as “kind”, “righteous”, “good-looking”, etc. Nevertheless, these words can never told by this lady at all because for her, this man is a symbol of The Midway- who can not be suitable for any of them. Surprisingly, she- in her mature opinion, gave two of the most romantic sayings for her Colombian man:
Il est comme Casa Nova qui entre dans ma vie (He is like Casa Nova entering my world)
Son sourire a fait fondre mon coeur (My heart is melted by his smile)

No matter how colder it is in New York, she has been wishing her man could finally hold tight her hand, wandering around every corner of the unslept city, tasting any of fine red wine and finally, a melting kiss. Say, this man from what she expressed, is very exceptional. Her Mr.Right is a street-wise middle-age gentleman, who got the charmingly attractive appearance. Impressively, he could be compared to the most flirting gentle man in the Italian literature Casa Nova. That Freddo, wisely has never given her any rudely flirting sayings as he could do with the other women, he spent time taking care of her through a little discreet hug or colloquial gestures that just her who can understood. There is a reason for this: He is an executive chef of that restaurant while she is just a few-month cook culinary intern. 20 years that has been spent working in that place makes Freddo turn into a reserved person, who is overthinking of his current position. Some ladies he has dated before, he can not even remember their names… Undoubtedly, he is a family man who has a small family with his ex-wife and two little daughters, living in Texas. Besides, it is said that he is still in some secret relationship with a hometown girlfriend, said hastily by a sort of gossip maid girls in her workplace.

From this stage, I, myself, might not intend to being heard something like “Poor Christine!” though my little friend is now concerned as being in a capricious loving situation.
As being said, “The more glorious, The more dangerous” is totally right. However, this Freddo, as I can see, is not a risky rose but more like a ginkgo leaf- a gorgeous Japanese leaf having itself a warm and feather light beauty that can melt any tough heart. My lovely mate, after having so many thoughts, finally decided to bury this wrong love to somewhere deep in her heart. Somewhere that nobody could find… Generously as she can do, she wants to stand by him until the time is over, and that will do anything for him that can see his smile. Just to see that shining smile..
Jokingly, the place she works is a bit of being like a drama stage. If some worker does not want to be an unwilling drama queen, they poorly can not make it in that drain environment. Gossiping as it usually happens in any workplace has brought some pitiful persons troublesome, leading to a kind of bunch of weird situations. Sadly, it might break somebody’s innocent heart as well as their hurried emotion to each other. Things happen, happen. Her wrong love to her boss, a complex woman- chaser, was finally leaked out, making her feel drain and disappointed much. She honestly did not think for herself but Freddo as she does not intend to bring him any struggling incident.
A person that is fully out of this relationship would love to tell her straight forward that she does not have to care for this man as imagining how wise he is as a middle-aged gentleman. Of course, he has his full of intelligence and ability to get everything under his control. Anything he could say maybe includes “No worries Christine, time will make this faded” or “My cutie Christine, can we be all good now, I will not have a little upset mind from a little careless accident..” Whatsoever it sounds like, I feel a huge good impression for that man in the way he takes care for his girl, being spectacular from the other young men.
His outlook might not so brighting much, but he gave her a feeling of being learnt and loved. Whenever being with Freddo, she is like a little cat in a big big world. And “a big big world” can not ever be acknowledged in just one or two days. The warmth of a firm man’s skin is only the thing she feels curious about. And that she never ever has a wish of pushing it moving further as she knows it will be going nowhere. The only wish that now exists in her mind is being near Freddo, becoming a little covergirl who is able to see his smile every single day..
It is not unique when I told about this wrong love between an innocent lady and an over-wised man in this modern world anymore. In somehow, this kind of short story is still moaning there- in some rag, being some kind of joke for unsympathized people, then being faded day by day as it was trying to be. For me, love does not matter with age. A Vietnamese poet, Xuan Dieu, once a time expressed his love with a young woman in a poem, saying that “ We are not old when our mind is still like a flourishing rose”. It actually does not matter of how people react to this story, I truly hope that her beautiful smile will happen on her face forever more. Daydreaming as she is, but I concern that she knows how to deal with this feeling, and how to react as a kind lady.
Again, for my own god sake, love can not be stuck with being controlled or overcared, but the sympathy that they can give to each other.
What belongs to us will be always ours, living with a warm heart like my lady, could it be a little bit more peaceful?
